Purpose

DHCPv6 is a stateful address autoconfiguration protocol for IPv6, a counterpart to IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration protocol. It can either be used independently or it can coexist with its counterpart protocol. This protocol uses client/server mode of operation but can also provide support through a Relay Agent.

The ultimate goal of this project is to provide a protocol conformant implementation for Linux. The current implementation will evolve to support the proposed standard specification of DHCPv6.

Source Downloads

Source code is kept in git, available here.
Anonymous users can clone the git repository with this command:

SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 digests are provided for all source archives for download verification purposes.

Reporting Bugs

Bug reporting is handled on this site via the Trac interface. You will need a Fedora Account in order to report bugs. In the Fedora project, we have a unified account system for all services, so you need to create this account to report bugs. Go to ​https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/ to sign up. Then come back to this site and choose the Login link, and finally New Ticket.

Mailing Lists

We do not yet have mailing list capabilities on the Fedora Hosted infrastructure, so I have not set those up here. If you have any questions, email me directly. If there is a large enough concern, I will set up lists on redhat.com. But since the other lists on sourceforge.net were so low traffic, I think everyone can wait.
